• Unable to connect to the network because the parameters of the computer do not match the requirements of the network.

  The main computer in my house is connected to the web via a modem to our ISP (Cox).  We use a Cisco's Linksys wireless router.  We have configured a new laptop to connect through the router yesterday.  Now my laptop, which had been the connection very well, can't access the network.  When I go in the "network and sharing Center" and pull up nearby wireless networks, our network shows is even more bars, just a red X.  Reads the error message "unable to connect to this network because the settings of that computer to match the parameters required network.»

  I don't know what has changed on our network, but I was unable to understand what these "required parameters" are, so I was unable to change the settings of my laptop to match the requirements.  Pls help.

• Unable to connect to a network or to the Internet on my Dell XPS1530.

  Unable to connect to a network or to the Internet on my Dell XPS1530. When I try to diagnose problem, I get a message that reads "Network Diagnostics cannot run because the Diagnostics Policy Service is not running." Having exhausted the patience all the phone with my IP and Dell, which tells me that it is a problem of Microsoft software. I have two other computers and a PS3, and I am able to connect to the Internet through one any of them. The XPS works under Vista with SP2. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

  Go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and go to diagnostic policy Service and set it to automatic and start it.  If it does not start, check the dependencies and make sure they're too automatic and rnning.  Then see if you can run Network Diagnostics.

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should get those developed to date for the network card and regardless of the device you use to connect (such as a router wireless or such) and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  When I'm in a lke your situation, I usually start from scratch.  Create a new network connection by ensuring that all settings are correct.  Check all the cables (if there is).  You have already reinstalled the drivers - make sure that no firmware or software is also necessary.  Configure the network sharing settings and make sure that you are ready to discover the network and such.  Check other computers to see their settings to make sure you get yours right and essentially the same thing (the same exatly so is another Vista machine connected in the same way).  Go to start / Control Panel / Internet settings and make sure that it's too fixed properly.  To connect, then try again. If this is not the case, remove some time to cool down and then start again with another new connection.  It's almost certainly a parameter that is not correcct (something no doubt very simple).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Unable to connect to wireless networking

  My Toshiba laptop has been pre-installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit OS and it worked quite well with the BB wireless. However, the wireless internet was on and turned off in recent weeks, while other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always says "unable to connect to wireless networking. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.

  I got a new adapter properly installed TP-Link wireless. Fortunately, it worked; but unfortunately, it worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, like student full time, depended so much on the wireless network card.

  Help, please! Harry

  Hello

  You can enlighten us with:

  -What model do you use (eg..) L300-123)
  -What version of BIOS is installed?
  -WLAN driver do you use?

  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

• Unable to connect to the network "\\localmachine\sharedname" share

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone client, v5.0.0 build-470252, running on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer, try to import a Windows 2008 computer virtual (hosted by VMWare infrastructure) on my local machine.

  At the start of the converter, I have "connecting to a local server.

  Specification of the source system is OK, even if I don't know the certificate error.  The conversion wizard installs his agent and it connects OK.

  To the Destination System, I said:

  
  Type of destination: VMware Workstation or other virtual machines to VMware
  Product VMware: VMware Workstation 8.0.x
  Information on the virtual machine:
  Name: same as the source system, such as detected by the converter
  Location for the virtual machine: \\localmachine\sharedfoldername
  Username and password: my Windows 7 credentials, with full control over \\localmachine\sharedfoldername, the action and the underlying folder.

  "When the converter checks the destination settings, it is reported: unable to connect to the network"\\localmachine\sharedfoldername"share

  So far the measures of investigation:
  -Connection to the share through Windows Explorer works fine; It is possible to write to the share

  -J' tried specifying the share as '\\localhost\sharedfoldername', but get "the share specified network 'localhost\sharedfoldername' does not exist."  It was a bit of a long shot, I guess, but the form does not work in Windows Explorer.

  -Have you tried with the file and print sharing both power - on and off seemed worth a try after looking at other posts on this forum

  The help says 'If you are connected to a local Converter Standalone Server, providing a network path or a local path to the destination directory'.  I tried the local path "C:\Virtual Machines\sharedfoldername", but got the message "error: specified as a (local) drive Destination.»  "Please specify a UNC path such as: \\machine\sharename.

  Aid also States "You have not to provide user credentials if the location is on the local storage of the machine where Converter Standalone server running."  However, the next button is always disabled until credentials are provided.

  Can anyone help please?

  You must be able to access the \\localmachine\sharedname of the * SOURCE * machine. The job of conversions P2V of Windows is to install an agent on the source, then the agent connects to the target (this is why it must be on a network share) and transfers the data. You can browse \\localmachine\sharedname of the source (but not where the converter is installed)?

• Unable to connect to the network in an OS Win 7 comments when the cable disconnected

  Hello

  I have a Win7 x 64 host with Workstation 7.0 executes 2 guests - is also a Win 7 x 64 and the other is a Win 2003 R2 x 86. Both work quite well when I have a cable plugged into the host network, but when I unplug it, the Win 2003 comments always connects to the network local vm end (for example I can ping the host and I have a correct IP address with ipconfig) while the prompt of Win 7 says "unidentified network".

  I have something special for the networking of comments (or even the host by the way) and that the guest Win2003 worked 'out of the box"that makes me think that the Win7 to work also with some small configuration changes somewhere - someone can help point me in the right direction?

  See you soon

  Dan

  If both are NAT, both should have the Internet connection if you have removed the cable, because NAT virtual network connects to each host TCP/IP stack.

  Are you sure? It really sounds like a bridge and the other is NAT. If you unplug the cable from the network status of the guests should not change. If in doubt, post the two guests .vmx files.

• Unable to connect to a network printer, but can see and discover

  I'd appreciate any help with this: I have exhausted my Google searches for most of the day, and Microsoft support articles are of course a great help.

  The problem: I have a printer installation on one of the XP Home computers in our home network (all the XP Home computers). I am trying to connect to this printer from another computer, but I'm unable to add through the "Add printer" Wizard While I can see the printer in the list of printers on a network (including two other printers on other machines that work), when I try to connect to this particular printer in question, I am struck with a challenge to connect with what seems to be the guest account on the computer. There is no password for this account so I leave the password blank, and I then told me that I do not have sufficient permissions. I don't know what to do.

  A few pieces of my Google-ing info that may be useful:

  (1) I made sure that the guest account is enabled and even perform the active command of the net user on the computer in question.
  (2) I use Windows Firewall and I said to turn on the printer and file sharing and have exceptions for such.
  (3) I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

  (4) given that it is XP Home of course I can't access everything related to security or other policy.

  In addition, whenever I try to access this computer on the Working Group, it says I have "insufficient permissions". I don't know what it means that I've never been specified no restrictions when I ran the Network Setup Wizard.

  Windows networking works better if you have matching user accounts password on each machine rather than try to rely on the guest account (which is a security hole).

  See the following tips from the old MS MVP Malke.  He's old, but it's always good.  Not everything can be applied to your situation; Take the parts that do.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• Unable to connect to the network via a wireless connection.

  cannot connect to a wireless network adapter not connected

  can get Wi - Fi adapters

  Hello

  Do you have any software installed on your computer network monitoring?

  Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio frequency monitor), allows a computer with a NIC (NIC) to monitor all traffic received from the wireless network. Unlike promiscuous mode, which is also used for packet sniffing, monitor mode allows packets to capture without having to associate with a network access point or ad - hoc first. Surveillance mode applies only to wireless networks, while "Promiscuous" mode can be used on cable networks and wireless. Surveillance mode is one of the six modes of 802.11 wireless cards can function in: Master (acting as an access point), Managed (client, also known as station), Ad - hoc mode, mesh, Repeater, and monitor.

  Limits

  Usually, the wireless adapter is unable to transmit in monitor mode and is limited to a single wireless channel, if it depends on the driver of the wireless card, its firmware and features of all of his chip. In addition, in monitor mode, the adapter does not check to see if the control of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) are correct for packets captured, then some captured packets is maybe damaged.

  If a network monitoring program is running on your computer, the wireless network adapter will be set to follow the fashion, which prevents Windows to connect to wireless networks.

  To connect to a wireless network, close the network monitoring program, or follow the instructions in the program to exit the monitor mode.
